Inconsistent Application of My_ITU and MY_CQ Zones

Post by N0EHX »

Hello,

I've noticed using v2.1.0 (and prior) that there are circumstances that cause MY ITU and My CQ zone to be entered into a QSO different than what is setup in Settings for your station. Here's some reproduction steps.

1. Verify ITU and CQ Zones in Settings for your station. In my example it's ITU 7, CQ 4 (See Capture 1 attached)
2. Enter a new QSO via the main screen. Use QSO Manager to verify the My ITU and My CQ cells contain the right data (ITU 7 CQ 4).
3. Double click on the QSO to Edit it and click on the My QTH button. You'll see that it's now ITU 6 and CQ 5 (incorrect) (See Capture 2 attached)
4. Save the QSO, and the incorrect data is now part of the record.

Issue is reproducible without fail, on every QSO (entered direct or imported).

Happy to provide more information if necessary.

Gentlemen, I just tried to replicate this one. Manually added 20 QSO's and followed the procedure from Eric. Could not reproduce the problem.
Eric you wrote
that there are circumstances that cause MY ITU and My CQ
Can you clarify what these circumstances are ?

You need to use his call in the station info fields and his zones as well

Thanks everyone for looking into it.

I have a suspicion this would be impossible to replicate if one uses a home country that does not have multiple ITU and CQ zones. For example, England only has one ITU and one CQ zone. The issue would not manifest itself there.

However using United States, which has 3 ITUs and 3 CQ Zones it can be more easily reproduced. My original post covers my actual ITU/CQ of 7/4, which when replicated turn into 6/5. However, I just set myself as United States with an ITU/CQ of 8/3 and was able to reproduce it, and it once again defaulted to 6/5 when editing the QSO.

Rough guess, the values of those combo drop downs are bugged or not connected to the values being pulled from the QSO record, when the Edit window is opened up. The ITU/CQ in my examples above are likely Index 0 for the object (just a guess).

Decided to take it that one step further, just for data points.

Made my Station Country China (just picked something big). ITU 43, CQ 23 (randomly picked)

1. Enter new QSO from main screen
2. Verify in QSO Manager that My ITU and My CQ showed 43 and 23 as setup.
3. Doubled clicked on the QSO, edit window, My QTH and it's showing ITU 33 and CQ 24.

Attached some more screenshots of the test.
